How to keep check marks

[Guest]

I'm working in a LMS course using Captivate 9. This specific course has 6 Topics that must be completed by the student in order to finish/exit. After the student select each topic a check mark appears besides the Topic to show that is done. Once the student finish all the topics, the exit option is available to finish and exit the course.

My question is about, how to keep this check marks if the student wants to re-launch the course..

I already set up, bookmarks using Table of content, but my problem is to keep this check marks for this specific course and student.

Thanks in advance for your help.

How are the check marks made visible? Is it a show hide scenario or are they multi state objects?

Hi Paul,

The check marks start hide, but once the student select the option I show the check mark using an advance action

I hope you used a variable to track the completion of a module. You'll have to use Local Storage to store and retrieve those variables. That can be done with JavaScript, or with the CpExtra widget developed by InfoSemantics (is not free, not included but you can test a trial version).

Yes I'm using a variable to track the completion of the module, and you get the point, I need to know how to use a Local Storage to store and retrieve those variables.

Do you have any script to do it using captivate (Execute Javascript) action?

I am not a JS expert, just use it when something cannot be realized with Advanced/Shared actions or with that amazing CpExtra widget. I hope a JS expert will pop in and provide a script for you, I do use the widget (HTML output only).

Oh right you are creating the check marks using a show option. Lilybiri is correct. States and Visibility in output doesn't get bookmarked. You will need to store it somehow outside of the project.

Oh sorry I just realized you were referring to the in-built TOC feature. I think it could be done with a custom built table of content menu.

i"m already using a custom built table of content to select the Topics, So, once the student select a Topic and finish it, whn he comeback to the Menu (Table of content) he can see a check mark besides the Topic that was done.
